FAUOET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented 'Oct. o, 1908.

Application filed November 8, 1907. SerialNo. 401,210.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS S. DE FOREST, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. I 3 I My invention relates to new and useful improvements in faucets, and has for its object, among other things, to construct afaucet that will discharge in a plane inclined rearwardly, and to these, .and'other ends, my

invention consists in the faucet having the details of construction hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the claims. I

In the drawing I have illustrated a faucet of the ordinary ty e, in which the numeral 1 designates thebo y thereof, 2 'thethreaded rear end, 3 the handle, and 4 the discharge end, whichis inclined rearwardlyin respect to the vertical, and toward the end of the faucet 2, the object thereof being to discharge Fhe liquid in a plane toward the rear of the aucet. I

In operation my improved faucet is mounted so that the liquid strikes the bottom of the sink at an angle that defiects the liquid onto ejected therefrom, and thereby obviates the objections to spattering above referred to.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination with a sink of a faucet having a port theretlirough, the inlet end of said port being substantially arallel with the bottom of said sink, and t e discharge endat an angle thereto other than a right angle, whereby the liquid from said faucet contacts with said sink so as to be deflected ontothe back and bottom thereof. In testimony whereof Iafiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LOUIS S. DE FOREST.
